The other thing we did a lot of in Turkey was souvenir shopping! There were lots of shops with baklava, Turkish delight and other food items, as well as shops with souvenirs - bowls, tiles, cloth, lamps, rugs and more. We went to the Grand Bazaar (a very big shopping mall) one day, as well as the Spice market another day. The Grand Bazaar was HUGE - we got a bit lost! Here we bought scarves and painted ceramic items. And the Spice market smelled so good - I wanted to buy a little of all the different kinds of spices, but I settled on a hot chili powder, a sweet chili powder, and apple tea. I've already made apple tea and a red lentil soup with the hot chili powder (from our cooking class)!

This to me sums up Turkey in one picture - brightly colored things and people everywhere!
